However, although the situation has not been completely settled, evidence now strongly suggests that discordant galaxies do not occur more often than can be explained by line-of-sight coincidences; also, there is independent physical evidence that discordant galaxies all have physical properties consistent with a cosmological distance; for example, those with higher redshift tend to be smaller and fainter than other members of the group.
And I think this settles the issue. It doesn't matter what letters come after your name or what institute employs you. What matters is the weight of the evidence, which they lack. Of course, no one is discouraging further research into this area, but the research thus far is not enough to overthrow the current paradigm.

This list is a complete joke. Very few of these people are even in remotely related fields.
I still stand by my statement. As to science, it doesn't matter what comes after your name or what field you have recieved your degree in. It certainly helps, escpecially when applying for grant money, but when it comes to being right or wrong what matters is the evidence.
Darwin's degree was in theology. I know that he was also trained as a Naturalist, and there wasn't a formal science department during his time. However, it is possible to be both brilliant and non-conformist and still be right.
